Course Description

Learn how to see and think like an interior designer. Create observational perspective drawings of interior spaces, create a concept sketchbook for your original ideas, and construct a 3D interior model. This course covers many of the unique portfolio requirements found in various interior design programs.

Notes

See below for required course supplies.
  • Sketchbook (can also be used for note taking) – unlined preferred, at least 9” x 12” preferred
  • Black felt-tip sketching pen/marker – Ex:  Flair or Pentel Sign Pen suggested
  • (3) Lead pencils with sharpener and white eraser (other erasers are acceptable) - preferred you get one of each of the following:  2H, H, and HB (If you cannot get one of each of these pencils, we can make it work with a regular lead pencil)
  • 12” long Architect’s Scale – with fractions
    • Be sure this is an Architect’s Scale and NOT an Engineer’s Scale
    • Inexpensive versions are fine
    • The architect’s scale is preferred, but a 12” ruler will suffice
  • Roll of 12” long (white is preferred but yellow okay) or 11” x 17” pad of tracing paper
  • Graph paper – 4x4, aka 4 squares per inch – 8.5” x 11” sheets - It is very important you get the correct size grid!
  • Magazines, catalogs, or images to print from Google Images
    • Magazines and catalogs need not be new or up-to-date
  • Scissors
  • Roll of drafting tape – masking tape or even painter’s tape works also!
  • Glue stick or any glue (wet glue or rubber cement will be helpful for model building)
    • Double-sided tape also acceptable
  • For model building, you will be asked to be creative in your collection of materials (scrap paper, cardboard, poster board, foam core, old boxes etc).  Other helpful materials that you may have on hand that we will use will be blue painter’s tape, wet glue, hot glue, straight pins, twine, string, thread, old buttons, twist ties, plastic straws, coffee filters, etc.  Start collecting things that you think may work!

Supply Note: There will be printing to do, but I will work with you if you need to do it in advance or if it is not possible!
